Smallie baits!

Recommended Posts

In Canada, it's senkos 90% of the time. Tubes used to be my go-to until my last Canada trip where senkos outfished my tube-ing partner 3-1 for the whole trip.

Any soft plastic or craw imitator is a great way to start IMO.

Sometimes I go topwater, not as a numbers catcher, but just for the fun of it.

Small inline spinners and spinnerbaits are supposed to be great for 'em, but the one time I gave it a shot, they'd follow without striking. Plastics let me slow down and pause a retrieve to trigger the bite.

Northland Bugaboo hair jig, Probably shouldnt say anything about it, but if there are smallies they will eat the hair! It works no matter where they live. Case in point look at what Gussy, Salvador, and the othe canucks have done at the strugeon bay open.

it takes some getting used to to throw the hair and keep at it, but when you start consistently catching big smallies on it you get confidence pretty quick!

I would have to say if I only had one it might hae to be the tube... but I don't have just one so, jerkbaits, poppers and walkers, spinnerbaits, little bugs on shakeyheads, drop shots, hairjigs, downsized crankbaits and flukes rigged in all different configs! Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, senkos duh smile

Hiya -

Day in and day out - tubes, 3-5" grubs, jerk shad/fluke type baits and football heads, plus drop-shotting.

Mix in everything from jerkbaits and crankbaits to spoons and buzzbaits depending on the circumstances...

Last year I enjoyed the Rebel Crawfish crank. It seemed to bounce off rocks and logs and stuff. While everyone else' cranks were getting snagged, mine was bouncing off. And catching smallies! wink

the missus was destroying smallies on a rebel crawfish in the BW last summer

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
